I’m sick of Windows, and especially what it’s become, and the way its trending looks like it will only get worse.

As far as the Index goes, idk about that, as I don’t own one. However, I just DDG’d “valve index on linux”, and quite a few guides came up, so it shouldn’t be too hard to get it going. Plus Valve is a pretty Linux-friendly company,
Ive just installed Linux (Fedora 40 KDE) on my main PC over the weekend, so im a complete newbie and i apologize if some of my questions are nonsensical 😅. Yesterday evening the system seemed to completely lock up at a certain point while playing Red Dead Redemption 2 for the first time (installed & run via steam using proton...
